Project/source code documentation and OneNote

What is the best way to keep project development notes and ToDo lists that are general thoughts but not associated with a work item. I would like to document my general thoughts about a project development and tasks into TFS. I would prefer
if this is done using Microsoft OneNote but it could be Word. I have read online that one should create a /DOC folder in the branch where I can store OneNote or word or Excel files to document the project development. Is there a better process?

How to generate Flow Chart from Program Source Code easily and automatically.

It is very crucial to have a clear mind when faced with abstract codes for software engineers and program developers. As always, the programmers have had an overall structure in your mind and then process the design with source code. The structure can somehow be so complex that it becomes hard to cope with gradually. More often than not, you will get stuck when you process to some extent. However, codes can’t speak and present themselves in a straightforward way. You are eager to find out a straightforward layout to transfer those abstract codes to visible flowchart, aren’t you? Do you know there's code to flowchart software tools online? This tool can help you make a flowchart from source code automatically, here I will introduce you a great code to flowchart converter software.
Code Flowchart Creator is professional source code to flowchart software tool. This software is designed for programmers or document writers, and its main function is to generate flow chart from source code such as C, C++, VC++ (Visual C++ .NET) and Delphi (Object Pascal) programming files. It helps users to understand complex program structures by visual diagrams. When users are editing the source code, it can make a flowchart or NS chart according to that code, the source code will be analyzed to build a visible flowchart that can help users get familiar with the process of the program. The created flowchart can be exported as Visio/Word/BMP files. And it works well on all Windows OS, especially on Windows 7.
Below is simple guide on how to use the Flowchart Converter. Step 1: Free download the setup file on official website: http://www.flowchart-creator.com Step 2: Install it on PC and startup the Flowchart Creator Step 3: Open a source code file and it will automatically generate the Flow Chart on right Window.

Moreover, it also provides users with browsing and navigation functions. Those functions will facilitate the process of programmer and come to great help to both senior and junior programmers. The generated flowchart can be used to review source code. It will help examine the whole process of a program and check where errors exist when users are verifying source codes. You will never be worried about the complex program structure with the powerful code to flowchart creator tool.

Dear Chuck,
I have used Google and other search engines intensively since years. What I need (and this is why I've opened this thread actually) is a suggestion for a product from someone that has already used it. That could also save me time instead of searching, installing, trying, and eventually deinstalling at random. After all, the forum should allow to exchange knowledge and experience with people having similar interests.

Projects T-code CJ01 and CJ02

Hi Experts,
Can we restict t-code CJ01 and CJ02 based on company code. I couldn't find any authorization for CJ01 and CJ02 to restrict based on Company code.
Thanks

If the object in SU24 is NC and then moved to CM for a transaction then it will usually activate an auth check which has already been coded into the program. This will activate that check for that transaction regardless of whether the object is added into the manually or otherwise. If there is no check on that object in the code then you can do what you like with SU24 & roles but it won't perform the check. On my system CJ01/2 A_IMPR_BUK is set to Check, so if it is in the code, then it would be invoked if configured or used in the appropriate manner.
Typically PS is resticted by PS and CO specific auth model which does not include company code, in that instance then the next easiest thing is to peg it to an alternative org level/s e.g. profit centre which represent similar part of the organisation as company code - though this depends on your setup & often there is no direct link.
An alternative would be to use a user exit or enhancement point to add in custom validation, but you would need to find the link between project & comp code to perform the check against.

APT and Java source code generation

Hi all,
In many articles about APT tool, I read that it is possible to generate Java source code from annotations read by AnnotationProcessorFactory.
I am very interesting by this possibility but I can't find an exemple (all exemples I found display informations only).
Where can I find a concrete exemple of this functionnality ?
Thanks
Micka�l

Micka�l
I have a project on java.net that has several examples of code generation.
Go to the project source code here.
https://rapt.dev.java.net/source/browse/rapt/
The ones here are quite simple
https://rapt.dev.java.net/source/browse/rapt/src/net/java/dev/rapt/proposed/generators/
and these packages are more complex
https://rapt.dev.java.net/source/browse/rapt/src/net/java/dev/rapt/exploratory/#dirlist
Check out the javadoc to see how they should be used.
One pointer is, work out exactly what you want to generate first. Then code an example by hand, then make sure it compiles and does what you want it to do. That way you know exactly what you need to generate. It is much quicker to fix compiler and functional errors in your hand coded example, than to change the generator, recompile that, then run it to generate and compile the code.
If you do find errors in your generated code, tweak the generated code by hand till it works, then go back and change the generator to do the right thing.
A second point is: generate nicely formatted code, indented etc, then when it doesn't work, or doesn't even compile, you can at least read the generated code to debug it.

Wrapping and unwrapping source code

Hi All,
I'm having a security issue. I wanna do some wrapping thing for database objects like procedures,packages and functions.
can anybody tell me how can i wrap my source codes. And also how can i unwrap these wrapped codes whenever i need..???
can anybody help me to solve this issue please.
Thanks in advance,
Max

Dear Max,
if you have wrapped code, you can use this url: http://hz.codecheck.ch/UnwrapIt/Unwrap.jsp
and unwrapped code.
If you want wrap your code, just read:
c:\ora9i\bin> wrap iname=input_file_name
Running the Wrap Utility
To run the Wrap Utility, enter the wrap command at your operating system prompt using the following syntax:
wrap iname=input_file [oname=output_file]
Leave no space around the equal signs because spaces delimit individual arguments.
The wrap command requires only one argument, which is
iname=input_file
where input_file is the name of the Wrap Utility input file. You need not specify the file extension because it defaults to sql. For example, the following commands are equivalent:
wrap iname=/mydir/myfile
wrap iname=/mydir/myfile.sql
However, you can specify a different file extension as the following example shows:
wrap iname=/mydir/myfile.src

How to use Source Code Control for Large Application?

Hi, All!
I would like to collect knowledge about "best practice" examples for using Source Code Control and project organization for relative large application (let's say approx 1000 SubVIs).
Tools used:
LabVIEW 8.0
CVS Server
PushOK CVS Proxy Client
WinCVS
With LabVIEW 8 we can organize large project pretty well. This described in article Managing Large Applications with the LabVIEW Project.
I have read this article too: Using Source Control Software with LabVIEW In this Article Source Safe used, but with PushOK all looks nearby the same and works (some tricks for compare function are required).
Example. Two developers working together on same project. Internally project is modular, so one developer will work with module "Analysis", and another one with "Configuration" without interferences. These modules placed into Subfolders as shown in example above.
Scenario 1:
Developer A started with modification of module "Analysis". Some files checked out. He would like to add some SubVIs here. So, he must also perform check out for the project file (*.lvproj), otherwise he cannot add anything into project structure.
Developer B at the same time would like to add some new functions into module "Configuration". He also needed to check out project file, but this file already checked out by Developer A (and locked). So, he must wait until lvproj file will be checked in. Another way is mark *.lvproj files as text files in PushOK, but then one of developers will get conflict message by checking in and then merging will be necessary. This situation will coming very often, because in most cases *.lvproj file will be checked out all the time.
Question: Which practice is better for such situation? Is Libraries better than folder for large project?
Scenario 2:
Developer C joined to the team. First, he must get complete project code for starting (or may be at least code of one Library, which assigned to him).
Question: How it can be done within LabVIEW IDE? Or WinCVS (or other SCC UI) should be used for initial checkout?
Scenario 3:
Developer D is responcible for Build. Developers A,B,C have added lot of files into modules "Analysis", Configuration" and "FileIO". For building he need to get complete code. If our project splitted into folders, he should get latest *.lvproj first, then newly added SubVIs will appear in Project Explorer, then he should expand tree, select all SubVIs and get latest versions for all. If Project organized in Libraries, he must do the same for each library, isn't?.
Question: Is this "normal way", or WinCVS should be used for this way? In WinCVS its possible with two mouseclicks, but I prefer to get all code from CVS within LabVIEW IDE recursively...
That was a long post... So, if you already working with LabVIEW 8 with SCC used for large project, please post your knowledge here about project structure (Folders or Libraries) and best practices, its may be helpful and useful for all of us. Any examples/use cases/links etc are appreciated.
Thank you,
Andrey

Regarding your scenarios:
1. Using your example, let's say both developers checked out version 3
of the project file. Assuming that there are only files under the
directories in the example project, when Developer A checks in his
version of the project, there will be new files in one section of the
project separate from where Developer B is working. Developer B,
notices that there is now a version 4 of the project. He needs to
resolve the changes so will need to merge his changes to the latest
version of project file. Since the project file is a text file, that is
easy to do. Where an issue arrises is that after Developer B checks in
his merged changes, there is a revision 5. When Developer A and B go to
make another change, they get the latest version which will have the
merged changes to the project file but not the referenced files from
both Developer A and B. So when A opens version 5, he sees that he is
missing the files that B checked in and visa versa. Here is where the
developers will needs to manually use the source control client and,
external to LabVIEW, get those new files.
Where libraries help with the above scenario is that the library is a
separate file from the project so changes made to it outside of the
project do not require the project to be modified. So this time, the
developers are using a single project again which time time references
two libraries. The developers check out the libraries, make changes to
the libraries, and then check those changes in. So when each developer
opens the project file, since it references the project file, the
changes to the library will be reflected. There is still the issue of
the new files not automatically coming down when the latest version of
the library is obtained. Again, the developers will needs to manually
use the source control client and, external to LabVIEW, get those new
files. In general, you should take advantage of the the modularity that
libraries provide.
2. As noted in the above scenario, there is no intrinsic mechanism to
get all files referenced by a LabVIEW project. Files that are missing
will be noted. The developer will then have to use the source control
provider's IDE to get the initial contents of the project (or library).
3. See above scenarios.

Unable to edit WebDynpro source code after import from NWDI Track

Hi !
I am facing an odd issue when trying to modify the source code in a web dynpro that is in a Track.
This is what happens:
I create the project from Inactive DCs
I double click in the component controller (for example) and try to enter a line of code
A pop ups appears saying that in order to modify the file I have to check it out and to create an activity
The window to create a new activity appears, and I create the new activity
I am informed that the file to be edited will be included in the activity
--- Until now everything is normal ---
A try again to type something inside the source code.. and NOTHING happens, is as if my keyboard was broken.
After trying 1000 things I found a workaround that is:
Open the DTR perspective in NWDS, go to inactive -- <project>.. gen_wdp , ( and in gen_wdp right click, edit --> subfolder tree).
After doing that I am able to edit the source code... this is very strange! I mean, I never had this problem before..
somebody has a hint ?
Best regards!
Marco.

hi,
I am able to edit the code is one of the DCs in the same track and I am unable to do so in the other. The error that I see in a popup while trying to edit the code is :
The operation can only be performed if the following objects are writable:The project is not in the repository, but there are some read-only files
Component Controller com.aramco.sao.had.hmd.dcsa.newagrcomp.NewAgrComp
Read-only: D:\Users\bohramx\Desktop\nwds-extsoa-7.3-SP02-PAT0001-win32\eclipse\workspace.jdi\1\DCs\aramco.com\it\ca\esales\web\newagrmnt\_comp\src\packages\com\aramco\sao\had\hmd\dcsa\newagrcomp\NewAgrComp.wdcontroller
Please suggest how to checkout files for edit.
Thanks!

Protecting java source code

I heard about the possibilty of decompiling the java code and getting back the source code, is this flaw specific to java or is it common among all programming langauges?
how is it possible to protect the source code? and how expensive is the solution?
thank you

Back to poster: To my knowledge, the ability tode-compile back to valid source code is unique to
Java.
No it's not. Any program files can be decompiledback
to source code.
If not their original C or C++ code, then at least
assembly code.You cannot decompile C or C++ code to anything but
assembler language. Which even when written by a good
programmer is considered obfuscated by others. I
doubt that anyone has lifted C or C++ code from
another application using a decompiler.yes you can, all binaries can be reverse compiled, logically speaking they have to be!
However, the readability of the output is not going to be as high as that obtained from decompiled java.
>
I would say that de-compilation is not a flaw in Javawhen compared to
powerful features it has to offer. Of course it's a flaw (so I disagree with you here).
People don't want this behavior, but it exists. As I
stated earlier (and I'm agreeing with you on this
one), it was an issue of priorites, and the
developers of Java decided that it was OK because it
allowed "powerful features"...it is a feature - whether it is a desirable feature is another argument entirely.
>
Here's a list of projects where the developers arenot interested in
hiding the source code from you, in fact they let youhave it for free:
Notice the words developers, not software companies.
I believe in open source and participate in it when
not bound by non-disclosure which is 99% of the time.
But I would stand by my statement that there are no
o software companies selling retail software that
believe the ability to decompile Java back to Java
source code is OK or good for them in anyway. I would
gently suggest that providing open source code, and
providing the ability to decompile to source code
really don't belong in the same discussion...Protecting code is not the job of programmers, it is the job of the Law.

Question about the Documentation Tags for Source Code

Hello,
I have a question about CVI's automatic source code documentation. My problem is that is seems like you need to write all documentation for a specific tag on one line. If you don't, a line break will be inserted when the documentation is displayed. Suppose I want to write a large amount of documentation for the function itself, using the HIFN tag. If I don't want linebreaks to be forced in the documentation, I need to write all this documentation on one single line, which kinda messes up my code. If I split the documentation over several HIFN tags, the documentation displayed to the user might look messed up because of all the linebreaks. Is there any escape character I can put at the end of a line, allowing me to split the documentation of several HIFN lines without forcing linebreaks in the documentation?
Thanks!
GEMIDIS - Innovating Display Technology

This information is certainly useful. Note, however, that it can also be found in the documentation
Tag
Description
/// HIFN help text
Specifies the help text for the function. Use multiple /// HIFN tags to display help text for the function on separate lines. To separate help text with an empty line, use /// HIFN on a line by itself. You also can use HTML tags, but you must enclose the tags in <HTML><BODY></BODY></HTML> tags.
Example
/// HIFN SampleFunction returns the value of a control.

How to retrieve the source code navigation sidebar

Hi,
I'm trying to build a site following the tutorials on the dreamweaver software. I get in the part where i have to do the columns but i lost the navigation sidebar where the source code tab and the check_cs5.css are under the index.html tab, and have to use this one to be able to continue with the setup. I would like to know if it possible to retrieve this side bar and how? Or what to do to fix it, especially i'm far away for this step, do I have to start over? Please, I need an ASAP answer.
Thanks,

Where to get the source code of the owa_cookie.send procedure?

I want to know where you get the source code of the owa_cookie.send procedure? I can only get the header of this package from ...\RDBMS\ADMIN\pubcook.sql. Could you paste the whole source code here and then I can modify it to set the 'httponly' attribute? I also have a problem that after changing the package, how to use the package I changed? Does it still a system package here? Or it has been changed to an user-defined package in database and I need to execute the package on the database for the web server?
Thank you!

Hi Arun,
I am unable to see the pcui_gp components in the DTR ,I require this in order to get the source code of one of its component.
Can you please tell me the step by step procedure getting those pcui_gp components from J2ee engine to the dtr or NWDI.
If there are any documents on pcui_gp components exclusively please do forward to my mail id [email protected]

Scrolling messes source code on JDeveloper 10.1.3.5 Windows 7 (64 bit)

Hello!
One can only work around the problem as in vista, by using a new Sun jdk, other than that shipped with JDeveloper.
However, this is not considered safe, as the newer jdk is neither tested nor certified to work with that version of JDeveloper.
I have already searched My Oracle Support, only to find a patch about a memory leak for JDeveloper 10.1.3.5. +(I wonder why is it not offered to the public anyway?+)
Could any one from Oracle please see to a more permanent and safer solution to the problem?
I am looking forward for your prompt actions, and thank you very much in advance!

Let me rephrase: when one scrolls using page up or down keys, or by using a mouse wheel, the source code lines ( and characters) appear partly only, either distorted or overlapping with each other, in such a way that one cannot make out what has been written. I hope the above clarifies the problem in question. In such a case a screen shot might actually serve us perfectly.
I have already given your suggestion a try, without any success.
Thanks anyway very much for your reply!
Any other helping hand available?
TIA!

Double click event to source code

What im trying to do is when someone clicks one of the keywords in the tree browser file that it takes them to the source code window and to that method or variable the clicked. For exaple lets say have 2 windows, on the left side is just a list of methods and variables and ont he right hand is the window which u can see the source code. What i need is that when someone click on a method name on the left window, it will take them directly to that method name in the source file window (right window).

Does JavaClass contain the list of JavaMembers? If so, and if it is supposed to reflect the current state of the file that is open on the right hand side, then it should probably have methods to get the line and column number for the start of the contained JavaMembers. If you can figure out how to keep that in sync, you should be able to query it directly and set the cursor position.

Dumping Global ABAP Objects Source Code to Text File

Hello People, this is my first post and my first time to join the forums.. and also my first time to code in ABAP.
Anyways, I was wondering if there is a way to dump the source code definition of any class/interface made in SE24 (Object Builder) onto a Text File; all the methods, attributes etc... of a class/interface. I've used SEO_METHOD_GET_SOURCE but it doesn't work.
Thanks for the help.

Suhas,
I have created some wiki links (may be 3-4 months back) which seems similar to this requirement.

This is not a flaw!
Java is compiled on the byte level not bit level. This is so because the same class can run on Windows, Solaris, Linux and Unix. This makes the execution a little bit slower and easier to decompile but a small price to pay for cross platform compatibilty.
